Mechanisms that regulate attachment of the scaffold/matrix attachment regions (S/MARs) to the nuclear matrix remain largely unknown. We have studied the effect of simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP), DNA methylation and chromatin organization in an S/MAR implicated in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), a hereditary disease linked to a partial deletion of the D4Z4 repeat array on chromosome 4q. This FSHD-related nuclear matrix attachment region (FR-MAR) loses its efficiency in myoblasts ...[more]
